White

When dinning there are circumstances that require just a little less, or perhaps just a little more wine. It is the format that allows us the choice above (or below) the regular measure of the 750ml bottle. Half bottles and magnums can be selected to make sure you and your guests get exactly the right amount of liquid nourishment during your lunch or dinner. Please enjoy our selection

Fresh and Aromatic

White Wine

The wines within the Fresh & Aromatic sections represent the lightest and brightest of the wines we offer. We can expect fresh citrusy acids that refresh the palate and brighten the flavors of our dishes. Most of the wines use little or no oak and have low to moderate alcohol levels. These attributes make these wines perfect for aperitifs and with lighter style dishes

Supple and Lush

Red Wine

Those seeking a round mouth-feeling and plump tender structures will enjoy these two pages of selections. Fuller bodied grape varietals are used in these wines that offer darker red and black fruits mixed with hints of vanilla and coffee. Look to the European selections for lovely mineral nuances

Full and Decadent

White Wine

The wines on these pages are the richest white wines we offer. These have full personalities and depths of flavor. Higher alcohol levels due to very ripe grapes give a full bodied richness. More oak is used with these wines often giving a certain creamy character. These wines match well with our main course dishes and act as a refreshing pairing for our game meats

Red

Half Bottles

The half bottle is the best solution for the dinner guest when variables arise. When amounts are a concern the 375ml size is an easy answer for providing two people with just enough. When dinner choices range from light fresh fish to heavy red meats pairing multiple half bottles can provide a wide range of options

Magnum

Magnum 1500ml = Two bottles. There are occasions in one's life that arise that require just a little bit more; just a little more time, just a little more song, just a little more company...and just a little more wine. For these occasions we propose the following fine selection of large bottles, carefully chosen to meet the most serious of the more-occasions

Fresh and Aromatic

Red Wine

An excellent variety of well-focused lightly structured wines. As you move down the two pages from left to right you'll find the wines deepen with concentration. We look for bright fresh red fruits, floral notes and very little oak influence for the wines on this page. Perfect for those looking for superb versatility

Full and Decadent

Red Wine

Our richest selections are presented here. Very ripe grapes with extracted upbringings allow these wines to exude power and decadence. Black fruits are married with wood notes giving them lifted aromas of spice, caramel, espresso and mocha. Here the structures are firm and dense, giving them the power to handle our most flavorful red meat dishes

We waited for an hour for the main course, my lamb was about two ounces of meat and the food looked and tasted like it had been under a heating lamp, not good enough for $46! My wife’s bison was reasonable but We had lost our appetites by then. Too bad because we have been eating there for past 28 years when it was Inn on Lake Bonavista, later Newport Grill , now Lakeside. Kind of spoiled our 38 th wedding anniversary!

Fantastic service from Darcy but everyone was amazing. The food was exceptional - the lamb was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut it, and to think its all local ... yah Even though we went on January 4th it was still busy with a great atmosphere and our table close to the fire place was just perfect. This wasn't our first visit and it will not be our last.

Service staff was awesome. Ambiance great. Noise level was adequate. Food was ok. We’ve been there many times and it was always great. Previous New Years dinner was much better than this one. Food was kinda over cooked and or bland last night. I’d still recommend The Lake House, just hopefully they improve their Chefs Tasting Nights.

I'm a Fine dinning Chef over 40 years, let's say that when I go out for dinner I am usually disappointed because I can cook better at home. Not with the LakeHouse. This culinary Team is way above the excellent line. Highly recommended.

Really pricey Need more servers so patron gets better service for price your paying Food was good to very good but never had mussels served with fries on top seemed kinda cheap for what the chef experience is supposed to be Noise level is high as it is very busy with many tables. Overall it was good to very good but I wouldn’t say it’s worth what your spending.

The Lake House has yet to disappoint! We were a party of two and enjoyed the crab fettuccine to start, some scallops, shrimp and bison. The recommended wine paired perfectly with our dishes and the service was attentive. If you haven’t gone, you should.

What a great spot to celebrate a birthday. A very creative menu (it was hard to decide) and great wines by the glass pairings. Setting was very festive for Christmas and service was great.

I went to this restaurant with a small group of colleagues as a pre-Christmas celebration. We had a great evening! Splendid food, excellent and unobtrusive service, lovely room and ambience. Everything was taken care of, and as it should be. My advice? All the Mains are great, but the Lamb Sirloin - go for it every time. I highly recommend The Lake House for any sort of occasion.

Had a great business lunch at the Lake House. The server was attentive but him gave us space to do our work and was very accommodating when someone ordered the wrong item. Food was very good. The sticky toffee pudding was the highlight! I had sticky toffee pudding the next day somewhere else and was so disappointed after having the Lake House’s. The room was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Would definitely go back.

The food was excellent, we got the daily soup, feature risotto as our main and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I will go back again just for the dessert.

I have to say that the Manager at The Lake House is very accommodating and nice. On one occasion we had a little something happen and he dealt with it in a very professional manner.
